I'm excited for a number of reasons: It will support Linux, it will be on both GOG & Steam and it looks very much like an evolution of the XCOM gameplay I love.
They have $159,364 funded against their goal of $500,000 as of right now, but it's shooting up quickly. It's worth noting that includes $69K from Fig directly.
The story sounds damn exciting too! Scientists discovered an unusual virus in melting ice, which mutated the oceans of the earth and eventually spread onto land. It's a smart sounding game, as the enemies you face will evolve with your tactics, so you will need to plan carefully.
I've shot off a Tweet to Julian to ask how early we can expect Linux support, if he replies quickly I will update the article, otherwise I will point it out in a future article. I'm confident we won't be let down here, since their previous game Chaos Reborn supported Linux fine.
I really hope this gets funded, but I don't think hope is needed here. It is very likely to get funded. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Procedural destructible environments? Designed by Gollop? And with potentially interesting factions?This is the 3d X-COM I've been waiting for. I'm properly and thoroughly hyped, ladies and gentlemen.

Sounds awesome indeed, but their last game was quite medicore... I guess it would be good to have it funded, but I am not sure if I want to invest in it personally.

I'm in. The man's a genius. I thought Chaos Reborn was great fun and a great remake, only suffering from lack of players.

I am really having a time issue. I cant even play through 25 percent of the great games feral, obsidian, inxile and others release. I cant keep up their release speed with my gaming speed..
Odd, thinking a few years back considering what we had back then. Basically nothing except publishers and porters going bankrupt until Valve pulled the switch with steam.

Quoting: GuestIs it yet another turn-based strategy game?
It's another XCOM game, yes.

Great. I may consider buying it when it's actually released with Linux support.

Got Chaos reborn, I will get this too.
I hope he remakes Laser squad and Magic & mayhem too.
Great time to be a linux gamer.

He clearly needs support as he can't even afford light-bulbs. Unfortunately I just spent $7k on a couple of kick-starter projects so that's it for KS2017, for me.

Looks good to me!
I do hope the battlescape isn't too restrictive like the modern XCOM games, the original system of TUs and free fire gave you much more freedom -- from destroying walls and hedges to create alternate routes, to choosing when and where to take your shots, to saving some TUs for the chance of getting reactionary shots.
I hope the geoscape is similar to the originals too.
